The estimated $10 million/year in tax revenue would go into the city's general fund.

While voters seem to be for the tax increase, opponents argue that medical marijuana users are already struggling to pay for the drug and some city leaders are concerned the tax could be illegal and may end up in the courts.

The medi-pot community in Los Angeles seem to be divided over the tax.

Long-time dispensary operator Yamileth Bolanos told the Los Angeles Times: "The city has done nothing for the patients, and I don't see why the patients have to pay a sin tax. We're not a topless bar."

Others are in favor of it, because of the long-term effect it could have on marijuana acceptance in the mainstream.

The L.A. Times was also against the measure, arguing that support of it could result in drawbacks in the future.

"Getting in bed with a quasi-legal industry has drawbacks. If city government became reliant on tax revenue from medical marijuana sellers, city officials would be less likely to pass ordinances restricting their operations and police would be less inclined to raid their establishments to check whether they're really running on a nonprofit basis. A decrease in such scrutiny would encourage more illegal for-profit dispensaries, which draw other kinds of crime."

However, L.A. sales tax is already 9.75%, so the increase puts the tax at nearly 15% to the patients.

What do guys, outside of Los Angeles, think? Is the tax good or bad? Sound off.
